Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted) plus more for brushing
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1½ cup coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs room temp, beaten
  • 1½ cups rice flour sifted
  • ½ cup all purpose flour sifted
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp culinary grade matcha sifted
  • ½ tsp salt
  • banana leaves for lining the cupcake pan

Toppings

  • salted duck egg
  • unsweetened coconut shreds
  • fresh grated cheddar cheese

Instructions

Prepare the batter

  • Using an electric whisk, cream together melted butter and sugar for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pouring slow and steady, add coconut milk to the creamed butter. Then pour in the vegetable oil and egg. Mix until evenly combined.
  • In another bowl, combine rice flour, baking powder, salt, and matcha. Hand whisk until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry mix to the wet mix while stirring. Mix well until you get a light, thin batter. Do not overmix.
  • Cover the batter with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 15 min.

Bake

  • Preheat the oven to 400 deg F.
  • Line cupcake pans with banana leaf. It's okay to have 1-2 inches protruding from the sides, but trim excess off. Brush the banana leaves with melted butter.
  • Fill the cupcake pan with batter, about 2/3 full. Bake at 400°F for 12 min.
  • Remove from oven and lightly brush the tops with melted butter. Add toppings (salted duck egg or coconut). Gently press the duck egg into the cake to prevent rolling.
  • Rotate the pan for even baking, and return it to the oven for another 8-10 min. Remove from oven when edges are slightly brown and after checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Let cool on a rack for at least 5 min. Add fresh grated cheddar cheese if desired.
